And that surprised me, I thought the miniature ones would be the worst. I found them to be a very sloppy fit, and relying on the sprung tangs of bent metal hold them into place. But the metal didn't retain its shape and would bend back and go slack. This was on things like printers, hard drive enclosures, external audio equipment - devices that just sat there without being plugged and unplugged. The idea of the USB-C plug that fits either way is good. How many times have we tried to plug a USB-A in and it won't go, so you turn it around and it still won't go in, then you turn it around again and finally it goes in? I end up marking the tops of my USB-A plugs so I've got a fighting chance of plugging them in first go, but that doesn't help with sideways 90° rotated sockets. You're never quite sure which way they face, particularly when you're reaching around trying to plug something into the back of equipment. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
